Chapter 18 Footsteps
Chapter 18 Footsteps
It was pitch black outside the window, and even the lightning was gone. In the whole world, except for the whistling wind, there were only crazy raindrops, making annoying muffled noises.
No one can sleep, and in such a cramped night, no one can withstand the oppression of death and fall asleep.
Su Nian has a big heart, but affected by this atmosphere, she doesn't have any desire to sleep. She put on a dress and sat by the window for a while, feeling a little numb in her buttocks, so she simply stood up and wanted to sleep. Explore the villa again.
Su Nian picked up a clothes fork and put it on her shoulders. By the way, she hid the crossbow given by Sun Shangxiang in her sleeve, and she opened the door.
With just such a movement, she almost didn't get a heart attack from being frightened.
——There was a figure outside her door, a very tall figure, lost in the dark night of the corridor, leaving only a little fire on the fingertips flickering on and off.
Su Nian took a step back in fright, covered in white sweat.
"Sister Nian." Jiang Shuihuai was taken aback when he saw Su Nian coming out, and he quickly extinguished the cigarette in his hand.
Hearing the familiar voice, Su Nian came back to her senses. She pressed her heart that was beating wildly, and her mind was full of thoughts about how to find an excuse to beat up this mentally handicapped person who didn't rest in the middle of the night: "Jiang Shuihuai , what are you doing standing here so late? You want to scare me to death so that you can inherit my baby!"
Jiang Shuihuai consciously scared people, and apologized obediently: "Sister Nian... Sister Nian, what are you thinking, how dare I do that kind of thing, I just want to talk to you, but I am afraid that you will fall asleep , so I didn’t dare to knock on the door. And this light, it’s not that I don’t turn it on, it’s because the building seems to have a power outage, and the lights outside can’t be turned on.”
Su Nian let out an "oh" and tried the switch by the door. Indeed, no matter how hard he pressed it, he couldn't turn on the light.
"It seems that the electricity is really out, and the lights in the room are not turned on, but I didn't notice it." Then, he turned around and faced Jiang Shuihuai: "By the way, you said you want to talk to me, what do you want to talk about? Brother Xu?"
Before Jiang Shuihuai came, he really did a lot of mental construction. He even thought that he could say what was in his heart in a joking way, but it wasn't until this moment, when the matter in his mind was directly dissected, that he realized that all the preparations were useless of.
Jiang Shuihuai was silent. After hesitating for a while, he finally gave up those hypocritical whitewashing.
He lowered his head, and when he spoke again, his voice was deep and hoarse: "Sister Nian, I'm afraid."
As soon as Jiang Shuihuai opened his mouth, he said this: "I'm really afraid that brother Xu will die. Really, it's all my fault. If I didn't pick up that drum at that time, brother Xu would not have encountered such a thing. He is such a good person. It’s not me, there’s no need to come to this kind of place, it’s all my fault!”
"It's really your fault." Su Nian didn't excuse him, and said bluntly: "Since you know you're wrong, then you must hold on. You can't fall down before you find Brother Xu."
In fact, in many cases, what people want is not sympathy and excuses. They know their mistakes in their hearts, and what they want is just a chance to redeem their sins.
Jiang Shuihuai felt this way.
Hearing Su Nian's words, he actually felt relieved, the previous depression was swept away, replaced by a positive spirit.
Jiang Shuihuai took a deep puff of cigarette, straightening his spine: "Sister Nian, you are right, I have to cheer up and get Brother Xu back. After all, it was my fault, I can't go on like this, I have to make up."
Su Nian patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's good for you to think like this, then I will provide you with a way, you go down the mountain with them tomorrow, and find some really capable celestial masters, since there are ghosts in this place If they are causing trouble, then ask the Celestial Master to collect them. If you jump over the wall in a hurry, maybe you will take Brother Xu as a hostage and negotiate with you."
Jiang Shuihuai's brain circuit is simple, but he can still understand what he should understand. For example, now, after thinking about it repeatedly, he always feels that something is wrong.
Jiang Shuihuai: "Sister Nian, what do you mean I will go down the mountain with them tomorrow, won't you go with me?"
Su Nian nodded, thinking about Jiang Shuihuai's behavior, he simply said the truth: "I don't want to leave, I have to stay for a few more days, someone tricked me into coming to this show, if I leave now, how do I know that they have spent so much trouble on it?" What do you want to do?"
But Jiang Shuihuai obviously misunderstood. After listening to her words, he didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes were full of respect: "Sister Nian, you don't need to say anything, I understand, you are really a good person!"
Jiang Shuihuai grabbed her hand, his face full of emotion.
"You are willing to risk your life to guard this room for me. I don't even know how to repay you for this kind of great kindness. It's true. We can't all go. If they see no one in the room, they will directly tell you What should Brother Xu do? It's just that, although you are very powerful, sister Nian, you are a girl after all. I can't do it by leaving you here alone, so I'll accompany you."
Su Nian: "..."
I really don't know how he could come up with such a self-sacrificing script for her: "No, Jiang Shuihuai, you misunderstood me, I'm really not such a selfless person." Su Nian said coldly: "I stay for It's really something, you don't need to accompany me, after all, you can't even beat me, and you can only hold back if you stay."
Jiang Shuihuai was even more moved, and his eyes were a little red: "Nian, sister Nian! How can you be so good? You are so good, I can't leave! Although I am weak, I can still be cannon fodder! I won't put You stayed here alone! I can't do it for you to sacrifice for me!"
Su Nian didn't know what he was imagining, but in fact, she really wanted to send everyone away so that she could use the red envelope group recklessly.
She really wanted to save Xu Ze, but the process was far less difficult than Jiang Shuihuai thought. As long as there were no outsiders around, Su Nian, who used the red envelope group, could really be invincible in the world.
Jiang Shuihuai really knows how to make up brains, and also likes to crazily put gold on her face, even if Su Nian has a thick skin, he can't help but blush.
"I'm not, I haven't, don't talk nonsense." Su Nian denied it three times.
Jiang Shuihuai refused to listen, and kept saying, "I understand, Miss Nian, don't say anything, I know you are good to me, and I will remember it for the rest of my life!"
Su Nian really had no way to communicate with Jiang Shuihuai anymore, so he could only sigh deeply and put this topic aside.
She patted Jiang Shuihuai's shoulder heavily, wanting him to wash off and go to sleep, but at this moment, she heard "dong dong dong" footsteps upstairs.
It is not surprising that there are footsteps, but the premise is that there are people living upstairs, but they obviously do not meet this condition.
Previously, for the convenience of taking care of them, everyone picked the rooms on the first floor and squeezed them together. Now, the second and third floors are empty, not even sundries.How can there be sound in an empty room?Still such dense and chaotic footsteps.
Su Nian and Jiang Shuihuai confirmed that they heard correctly, then upstairs...
Their hearts tightened suddenly, and when they met their eyes again, their expressions were ugly.
Jiang Shuihuai began to break out in a cold sweat, his voice trembling as if he had Parkinson's: "Miss Niannianniannian, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes..."
"Shut up." Su Nian really wanted to show a little nervousness, but when she heard Jiang Shuihuai talking, she couldn't get nervous anymore.Glancing at Jiang Shuihuai with distaste, he pushed him back, Su Nian picked up his clothes and fork and started to walk upstairs: "Stay here and don't move, I'll go up and have a look."
Jiang Shuihuai was startled, and rushed forward to hug her arm: "Sister Nian, don't be overthinking it! How can you deal with so many monsters by yourself! Let's go back to the house and hide for a while, and we'll talk about it at dawn tomorrow."
Su Nian touched the crossbow in his hand, and then the gauze bag at his waist, making sure that he was fine alone.
"Don't worry, I can hit a hundred monsters like this by myself, no problem." Su Nian said while pulling his arm, but he didn't pull it out once, and he still didn't pull it out twice. Three times, Jiang Shuihuai simply sat down on the ground and hugged her thigh.
Jiang Shuihuai burst into tears, her trouser legs covered with tears and snot: "Sister Nian, you are amazing, but I am weak, don't leave me here alone, I'm afraid they won't be able to beat you, turn around and see me poor Find a sense of superiority in yourself.”
Su Nian glanced at him expressionlessly, and when he felt the wetness on his trouser legs, he finally couldn't help but turned into a devil.
Su Nian patted Jiang Shuihuai's head, his face full of indifference: "What are you dreaming about? How could they come to you, as weak as you, you can't even find a sense of superiority."
Being pierced by such blunt words, Jiang Shuihuai's diamond heart made of glass was also shattered into pieces. He covered his face and cried bitterly, but his left hand still held Su Nian's thigh tightly.
Su Nian couldn't get rid of him, so he could only drag the [-]-jin leg pendant up the stairs step by step.
They walked really slowly, but the strange thing was that the monsters didn't chase them down so slowly.All the way to the third floor, they didn't even see a suspicious shadow!
This is very strange, obviously...
"Sister Nian, this is already the top floor, why are the footsteps still on it?" Jiang Shuihuai rubbed his arms and looked up at the ceiling. Due to years of disrepair, the wall plaster has fallen off in some places, revealing large areas concrete slabs, and almost black dotted stains.It's ugly, but otherwise nothing out of the ordinary.
Su Nian also raised her head, but compared to Jiang Shuihuai, she thought more about it, such as the stain on the top of her head...
Su Nian's thoughts diverged to a terrible place, but in order to leave a piece of pure land for her trousers, she still held back and said nothing, "Maybe there is a mezzanine on the ceiling, it's too dark now, and there is no Tools, let's take a look tomorrow."
Jiang Shuihuai always listened to what she said, and immediately had no objection, and followed her to the first floor.
It rained all night and didn't stop until dawn. The excessive rain made the air feel cold and humid.
Su Nian got up early in the morning, put on a few more clothes, and walked to the door. There were already a lot of people gathered there—she saw the director standing in the middle, surrounded by several men arguing, and a girl squatting on the ground sobbing.This small and continuous cry was like a saw repeatedly pulling a person's nerves, and finally someone couldn't help it, and burst into a sharp cry.
"I fucking said it all. I just get up in the morning and accompany him to wash up. As soon as he goes to the toilet, he disappears. I really don't know anything, I haven't done anything. If I am as capable as you said, Can you still come to this place?" He said, slamming the water glass down.
There was a crisp sound of "bang", and glass residues splashed everywhere, shattering the surrounding people.
The girl who was squatting on the ground was the first one, with a small cut on her hand. She screamed shortly, and her expression became resentful: "You don't know? Can you just open your mouth and say you don't know?" ? If you really have no problem, why is it not you who disappeared, but my boyfriend!"
"Slot, what the hell do you mean! You said I harmed him? I would harm that kind of waste?! Do you want to ask, which time he committed a crime before, I was not responsible for him. If I really hurt him Malicious, as for helping him so many times?"
The girl sneered, with a sneer on her face: "Who knows? You know what you are like."
This suspicion placed in the open is almost the most powerful weapon to overthrow reason. The man couldn't hold back any longer, and wanted to rush upwards with red eyes.The director pulled but didn't stop, but it was the man who scared her to the ground and stopped by himself.
"If it weren't for the fact that I don't hit women, and just talk so cheaply at you, you don't even think about going out today!"
The woman gasped for breath, her face was pale, but seeing that he really didn't intend to do anything, her arrogance returned: "Oh, are you guilty of not hitting women or are you afraid to hit them? You dare to stick any kind of rubbish on your face Kim, it's also funny."
The man laughed angrily, and spat hard at his side: "Say it again! Do you really think I'm a saint? Let you play wild on the top of your head!" He kicked over as he spoke, Su Nian had quick eyesight and quick hands , grabbed the woman and stepped back.
Su Nian was very fair, let her avoid a kick and threw her to the ground.
"Girl, you don't speak too harshly. I know you're anxious, but he shouldn't be lying. You know something's wrong with this house, just like last night, Brother Shui and I heard footsteps in the middle of the night, but we walked up to the top floor I haven't seen anyone suspicious, have I?"
Just as Jiang Shuihuai was about to nod, the girl said to Su Nian with a look of resentment: "What are you? It's amazing to hug your thigh. I thought everyone would give you face? It's my boyfriend who is missing now, not you Yes, what the hell do you have the right to chatter about here!"
Su Nian: "..." Then he smiled: "Okay, then I won't say anything."
Su Nian has a bad temper, and she is not that interested in being a punching bag for others. When she disagreed with each other, she simply raised her hand and knocked her out with a knife, "Look at how excited you are, just lie down and calm down for a while."
Su Nian's move really exceeded everyone's expectations, but I have to say it was really relieving.
Since the person disappeared early in the morning, this girl has been making trouble here relentlessly. Obviously there is another reason for this matter, but she just doesn't listen or believe it, and keeps insulting others.It's not like no one tried to persuade them to fight before, but without exception, they would be sprayed back by her.For the sake of her big change, everyone gave her face, but to be honest, they couldn't help making such a fuss.
Who doesn't have a temper, if it wasn't for Su Nian's actions just now, they would probably have to take action.
Jiang Shuihuai squeezed over and gave her a thumbs up: "Sister Nian, you are my sister, my sister for the rest of my life, you are so fucking handsome."
Su Nian smiled slightly, and looked cute again: "I'm not, I didn't, she wanted to sleep, so what, did you go to see the road? It rained all night, and I don't know if the road is good Good to go."
Jiang Shuihuai nodded: "There are some, some people went there half an hour ago, and they should be back soon."
It is said that Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and not long after Su Nian asked this question, the advance troops entered the house one after another.
They were covered in icy water vapor, and their faces were darker than the clouds above their heads: "Something has happened. We just found out that the engine is all broken for some reason, and there is no way to repair it. There is also a road, and the road is gone. Can't find it."
